I think you're supposed to wear the Relief Band the whole time - not just when you're sick. It seems like the goal is to never get sick in the first place rather than trying to alleviate symptoms once they appear.
I usually use the SeaBands and non-drowsy Dramamine or the patch when things are really bad. But I don't like the side effects at all. So, I'll give this a go.
By the way, I just ordered a Relief Band from a website called crewpass.net. It only cost $64 and shipping was free. Much less than through Sharper Image ($120 + shipping). It appears to be the exact same device.
